A Silent Lover's Lament
I've seen a lot of things
 things you can't believe
 not many were like you
 I've seen it all with my two eyes
 I'm telling you no lies
 so count it as true
 
 I've told a lot of stories
 huddled 'round the fire
 or laying in my bed
 I've told them all with my soft voice
 tales of fear and passion
 all swirling in my head.
 
 I've given many kisses
 to the lips of Juliet
 and women of the night
 I gave them all with youthful luster
 it was when the air was warm 
 and I still had my sight.
 
 I've been to many places 
 travelled far and wide
 yes I conquered this land
 the mountains in the west
 or smack dab in the middle
 shaking your father's hand.
 
 I took a lot of pictures 
 to try not to forget
 forget the things you've done
 I keep them hid away
 from the prying hands of time
 effects of which have already begun.
 
 I've sure drank my share
 the finest spirits known to man
 my whiskey, vodka, and wine
 I still remember that night
 drinking on my balcony 
 back when you were mine.
 
 I've had my share of cigarettes
 I fight fire with fire
 my share of reffers too
 if you're asking for the truth
 I'd give it up completely
 if I was back with you.
